ASIC-accelerated, network-based antivirus firewall systems for real-time
network protection -- today announced that the company's FortiGate family of
systems has been named a Reader's Trust award finalist for "Best Antivirus

traffic shaping, and anti-spam. All of Fortinet's FortiGate systems are
ICSA-certified four times over, easy to manage and provide cost-effective
network-level and content-level protection at the network edge. FortiGate
systems are kept up to date automatically through Fortinet's FortiProtect(TM)
Network, which delivers continuous and automatic signature 'push' updates that
ensure protection against the latest viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and
other intrusion threats -- around the clock, and around the world.
SC Magazine Global Award 2005 winners will be determined by SC Magazine
judges and announced at a gala dinner in San Francisco on February 16, 2005.
